Makes 24

 115g plain flour
 30g cocoa powder
 ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
 60ml Lupi Extra Light Taste Olive Oil
 165g caster sugar
 1 egg
 2 tbsp honey
 150g Jaffas, roughly crushed*
 Demerara sugar, to roll
 Sea salt

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

1

In a large bowl mix together flour, cocoa powder and bicarb. Add a pinch of sea salt.

2

In a separate bowl whisk together Lupi Extra Light Taste Olive Oil, caster sugar, egg and honey.

3

Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix well to combine. Add crushed Jaffas and mix through.

4

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll into balls. Roll in the demerara sugar to coat then refrigerate the balls for 30 mins.

5

Preheat a fan forced oven to 160ºC. Line two large baking trays with baking paper and arrange the balls over the two sheets. Bake for 10-12 mins then allow cookies to cool completely (or as long as you can possibly resist!) on the trays before eating.

*the easiest way to crush Jaffas is to place them into a plastic bag and hit them with a mallet or heavy rolling pin.
